FICE   DEPAR^TMENT,/ 

Sir:_I  have  the  honor ■tt^-s«}:umLJtila-^oTTo^vlllg  report  ot 
the  condition'  and  progress  of  business  of  the  Post-0fl5ce 
Department : 

"The  eighth  section  of  the  first  article  of  the  Constitution 
provides  "^that  Congress  is  "to  establish  post-offices  and 
post-routes  ;  but  the  expenses  of  the  Post-Office  Department, 
after  the  first  day  of  March,  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  eighteen 
hundred  and  sixty-three,  shall  be  paid  out  of  its  ovrn  reve- 
nuest" 

As  stated  in  my  last  report,  the  total  cost  of  the  postal 
service  in  the  Confederate  States,  exclusive  of  the  States  of 
Kentucky  and  jMissouri,  over  which  our  postal  service  has 
been  but  partially  extended,  was,  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
June  30,  1860,  four  million  two  hundred  and  ninet^^-six 
thousand  two  hundred  and  forty-six  dollars  and  seventy- 
eight  cents,  ($4,296,246  78). 

The  total  receipts  of  revenue  derived  from  postages,  for 
the  same  period,  were  one  million  five  hundred  and  seven- 


teen  thousand  five  hundred  and   forty  dolhirs  and   fifty-^ve" 
cents,  ($  1,517,540  bb). 

The  excess  of  expenditure  over  receipts,  for  the  same 
time,  was  two  million  seven  hundred  and  seventy-eight 
thousand  seven  hundred  and  six  dollars  and  twenty-three 
cents,  ($2,778,706   23). 

Among  the  means  adopted  by  Congress  to  enable  the 
Post-Office  Department  to  overcome  this  large  deficiency, 
and  to  render  the  Department  self-sustaining,  was,  the  abo- 
lition of  the  franking  privilege  ;  the  increase  of  the  rates  of 
postage  on  all  descriptions  of  mailable  matter;  the  prohibi--^ 
tion  of  the  carrying  of  newspapers  and  other  mailaide  mat'- 
ter  over  the  post-routes  as  freight;  the  providing  that  all 
contracts  to  be  made  for  can-ying  the  mails  should  be  let  ta 
jfche  lowest  bidder,  without  reference  to  the  mode  of  convey- 
-a^e ;  the  clothing  of  the  Postmaster  General  with  power 
"to  annul  contracts,  or  to  discontinue  or  curtail  the  service 
and  pay  on  them,  when  he  shall  deem  it  advisable  to  dispense 
with  the  service  in  whole  or  in  part,"  on  the  conditions  spe- 
cified in  the  law ;  and  the  reduction  of  the  rates  of  compen- 
sation to  jailroad  companies. 

CONTRACT    BUREAU. 

In  order  to  prepare  the  Department  to  meet  the  require- 
ments of  the  Constitution,  that  it  shall  be  made  self-sustain- 
ing after  the  first -of  March,  1863,  and  in  execution  of  the 
laws,  and  to  carry  out  the  policy  of  Congress  on  this  sub- 
ject, I  have,  from  time  to  time,  curtailed  the  service  on  such  / 
routes  as  would  admit  of  it,  and  wholly  discontinued  it  on 
others  where  this  cculd  be  done  without  material  inconve-, 
nience  to  the  public,  and  where  the  cost  of  the  service  was 
grossly  disproportionate  to  the  receipts  from  postages.  I 
have  also  discontinued  the  service  of  such  route  and  local 
agents  as  could  be  dispensed  with. 

In  addition  to  the  reduction  of  the  cost  of  service  by  cur- 
tailments and  discontinuances,  above  referred  to,  the  per- 
formance of  service  has  been  prevented  on  a  number  of 
steamboat  and  steamship  routes,  by  the  hostile  fleets  of  the 
enemy. 

Tabular  statement  marked  A,  herewith  submitted,  exhibits, 
in  detail,  the  several  routes  on  which  the  service  has  been 
curtailed  or  discontinued,  and  the  reduction  of  annual  ex- 
penditure occasioned  thereby,  for  the  present  fiscal  year. 


3  P= 


The  reduced  expenditure,  by  curtailments 
of  service,  by  this  statement,  is  $261,716   64 

By  discontinuance  of  service,  by  order  of 
the  Depaitment,  129,785  98 

By  discontinuance  of  service  by  the  block- 
ade, 340,2.50  00 


Making  a  total  annual  reduction  of  the  ccst 
of  service,  of  $731,752  62 


In  accord^-nce  with  the  requirements  of  the  Act  of  Con- 
gress of  tlio  9th  of  May  last,  I  have  divided  the  railroads  of 
the  Confederate  States  into  three  classes,  and  assigned  the 
compensation  to  be  allowed  to  each  for  carrying   the   mails. 

Tabular  statement,  herewith  submitted,  marked  B,  exhib- 
its, in  detail,  the  present  annual  cost  of  the  railroad  service, 
as  compared  with  its  cost  for  the  fiscal  year,  ending  June 
30,  18(i0. 

From  this,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  railroad 
service,  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1860, 
cost  $1,036,998  33 

And  that,  for  the  present  fiscal  year,  it 
costs  900,625  25 


Amount  saved  to  the  Treasury  by  this  re- 
duction, 136,373  08 

Add  reductions  of  expenditure  by  curtail- 
ment and  discontinuance  of  other  branches 
of  the  service,  731,752  62 


Giving  a  total   annual  saving   to  the  De- 
partment, of  $868,125  70 


It  will  be  seen,  by  reference  to  tabular  statement  B,  that 
there  were  seven  thousand  and  nine  miles  of  railroad  in 
operation  in  the  Confederate  States  in  the  year  I860;  and 
that  there  are  now  eight  thousand  two  hundred  and  sixty- 
five  miles  in  operation — showing  an  increase  of  twelve  hun- 
dred and  fifty-six  miles.  I  would  state,  in  this  connection, 
that,  owing  to  the  completion  of  a  number  of  railroads  since 
1860,  and  the  perfecting  of  new  and  important  connections 
thereby,  the  rate  of  compensation  has  been  increased  on 
them ;  and  the  aggregate  cost  of  the  service  has  been  in- 
creased, under  the  new  classification,  by  the  additional  num- 


ber  of  miles  run.  From  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the  rate  of 
redaction  of  the  cost  of  the  railroad  service  is  greater  than 
is  shown  by  the  aggregate  cost  of  the  service  at  the  two  pe- 
riods above  named.  Several  of  the  railroads  now"  carrying 
the  mails  under  contract  with  this  Department,  heretofore 
carried  them  under  sub-contracts  with  other  contractors; 
and  the  cost  of  that  kind  of  service  has  not  been  embraced 
in  any  statement  of  railroad  service  heretofore  exhibited. 

At  the  date  of  my  last  report,  there  were  ninety-one 
railroads  and  branches  known  to  the  Department,  and  but 
fifteen  of  them  had  entered  into  contracts  with  the  Depart- 
ment for  carrying  the  mails.  Now,  there  are  one  hundred 
and  nine  roads  and  branches,  and  fifty-five  have  entered  into 
contract.  And  these  embrace  nearly  all  the  important  rail- 
roads in  the  Confederate  States. 

At  the  date  of  my  last  report,  thirteen  hundred  and 
seventy-two  contracts  for  carrying  the  mails  had  been  pre- 
pared in  duplicate  and  sent  out  for  execution;  and  eight 
hundred  and  thirty-three  of  them  had  been  executed  and 
returned  to  the  Department.  Up  to  this  date  sixteen  hun- 
dred and  twxnty-five  contracts  have  been  prepared  in  like 
manner  and  sent  or.t  for  execution ;  and  thirteen  hundred 
and  six  have  been  returned  executed — leaving  three  hundred 
and  nineteen  outstanding,  which  have  not  been  executed,  as 
will  appear  by  tabular  statement  hereto  annexed,  marked  C. 

The  contracts  for  carrying  the  mails  in  the  States  of  Ala- 
bama, Mississippi,  Louisiana,  Texas,  Arkansas,  Tennessee, 
Kentucky  and  Missouri,  will  expire  on  the  30th  June  next; 
and  advertisements  have  been  prepared  and  are  being  sent 
out,  inviting  ]\ropo3als  for  carrying  the  mails  in  all  of  the 
above  named  States,  except  Kentucky  and  Missouri,  for  four 
years  from  the  first  of  July  next.  Owing  to  the  occupation 
of  a  large  portion  of  the  territory  of  the  two  States  last 
mentioned  by  the  Federal  troops,  it  is  not  practicable,  at 
present,  to  relet  the  service  in  those  States. 

By  the  twenty-third  section  of  '^  x\n  Act  to  change  the 
organization  of  the  Post  Office  Department,  and  to  provide 
more  effectually  for  the  settlement  of  the  accounts  thereof," 
approved  July  2,  1836,  it  is  provided  "that  it  shall  be  the 
duty  of  the  Postmaster  General,  before  advertising  for  pro- 
posals for  the  transportation  of  the  ma' Is,  to  form  the  best 
judgment  practicable  as  to  the  mode,  time  and  frequency  of 
transportation  on  each  route,  and  to  advertise  accordingly." 

I  have  endeavored  to  comply  with  the  requirements  of  the 


law  above  quoted  hy  making  a  careful  revision  of  all  the 
routes  established  by  law  in  the  States  of  Alabama,  Missis- 
sippi, Louisiana,  Texas,  Arkansas  and  Tennessee,  by  deter- 
mining the  time  and  frequency  of  transporting  the  mails  on 
each  route,  by  omitting  to  ask  for  a  renewal  of  service  on 
such  routes  as  were  deemed  unnecessary,  and  by  taking  the 
requisite  steps  for  securing  service  on  new  routes  where  it 
is  re({uired.  The  mode  of  service  is  determined  b}''  our 
statute,  as  stated  in  a  former  part  of  this  report. 

Tabuhir  statement,  marked  D,  hereto  annexed,  exhibits,  in 
detail,  the  number,  termini  and  present  cost  of  service  of  all 
the  routes  which  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  omit  in  the  ad- 
vertisements heretofore  referred  to.  From  this  exhibit,  it 
will  also  be  seen  that  the  present  cost  of  service,  on  the 
routes  omitted,  and  which  have  heretofore  been  in  service, 
amounts  to  four  hundred  and  ninety-four  thousand  one  hun- 
dred and  eighty-nine  dollars  and  eighty-nine  cents.  This 
exhibit  will  also  show  the  nuniber  of  routes  established  by 
law,  which  have  not  heretofore  been  in  service,  so  far  as  this 
Department  is  advised,  and  which  are  not  included  in  the 
advertisement  for  service  for  the  next  four  years. 

In  revising  and  systematizing  the  routes  in  the  States 
above  named,  it  became  necessary  to  advertise  for  service  on 
some  routes  not  heretofore  established  by  law,  in  order  to 
promote  efficiency  and  economy  in  the  service.  A  descrip- 
tive list  of  these  routes  is  hereto  annexed,  marked  E ;  and 
their  establishment  as  post  routes  is  respectfully  recom- 
mended. 

The  transportation  of  the  mails  constitutes  the  chief  item 
of  the  expenditure  of  the  Post-Office  Department.  The  total 
cost  of  transporting  the  mails  in  the  Confederate  States, 
(excepting  Kentucky  and  Missouri)  for  the  year  1861),  was 
three  million  four  hundred  and  thirteen  thousand  two  hun- 
dred and  eighty  dollars,  ($3,413,28'J.)  Looking  to  the  ne- 
cessity of  rendering  the  Department  self-sustaining,  thefol- 
loAving  reductions  have  been  made  in  the  cost  of  this  branch 
of  the  service,  to  wit: 

By  curtailments  and  discontinuances  of  ser- 
vice on  routes  as  stated  in  a  former  part  of 
this  report,  $868,125  70 

By  cost  of  service  on  routes  which  will  be 
discontinued  after  30th  June,  next  420, o71   o) 


Making  a  total  reduction  of  $r,288,G97  20 


.6 

In  addition  to  these  means  of  reducing  this  item  of  ex- 
penditure, under  the  new  service  to  be  commenced  on  the 
first  of  July  next,  the  number  of  trips  on  a  hirge  number  of 
routes  has  been  reduced,  and  long  routes  have  been,  in  many 
instances,  broken  up  into  shorter  ones,  so  as  to  induce  greater 
competition  by  opening  them  to  a  greater  number  of  bidders. 
These  measures,  added  to  the  letting  of  all  contracts  an 
**star  bids,"  should  produce  a  considerable  reduction  of  the 
cost  of  mail  transportation.  But  this  may,  in  a  greater  or 
less  degree,  be  counteracted  by  a  reduction  of  competition 
in  bids  for  the  new  service,  on  account  of  the  large  number 
of  our  citizens  ,who  are  in  the  army.  And  if  it  shall  be 
found  that  the  price  of  animals  and  vehicles,  and  forage  and 
subsistence  is  increased  by  the  existence  of  the  war.  that 
will  also  increase  the  cost  of  the  new  mail  service  ;  and,  to 
that  extent,  counterbalance  the  anticipated  reductions  of  the 
cost  of  the  service. 

It  is  also  to  be  remembered  that  the  postal  service  in  a 
considerable  portion  of  Western  Virginia  is  not  under  our 
control;  and  this  will  reduce  the  cost  of  the  service  during 
the  present  condition  of  that  section  of  the  State.  This  will, 
also,  diminish  the  revenue  of  the  Department — but  there 
will,  nevertheless,  be  an  augmentation  of  the  current  reve- 
nue, without  reference  to  this  part  of  Virginia. 

The  reduction  of  cost  of  service,  by  curtailments  and  dis- 
continuances of  service  on  routes,  has  been  more  limited  in 
the  States  of  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina, 
Georgia  and  Flori<la  tlian  in  the  other  States  heretofore 
named,  on  account  of  the  want  of  the  necessary  maps. 
But  these  maps  are  in  process  of  completion,  and  when  com- 
pleted, will  enable  the  Department  to  make  additional  reduc- 
tions of  the  cost  of  the  service  in  these  States,  similar  in 
extent  to  the  reductions  made  in  the  other  States. 

These  facts,  considered  in  connection  with  the  augmented 
receipts  of  revenue  from  2>ostages,  which  will  be  exhibited 
in  another  part  of  this  report,  will  furnish  the  information 
now  in  possession  of  the  Department  upon  which  to  estimate- 
the  probability  of  its  being  rendered  self-sustaining  by  the 
time  prescribed  in  the  Constitution. 

The  tabular  statements  above  referred  to,  have  been  pre- 
pared with  great  care  and  labor  by  the  Contract  Bureau,  and 
exhibit  a  large  amount  of  valuable  information,  in  detail,  in 
relation  to  the  postal  service,  in  addition   to  that  heretofore 


7^ 

specially  referred  to  in  tliis  report;   and  attention  is  respect- 
fully invited  to  them.

No  material  changes  have  been  made  of  Postmasters  sub- 
ject to  Presidential  appointment,  or  of  special,  route,  and 
local  agents,  since  my  last  report. 

In  answer  to  the  advertised  proposal  for  printing  Post- 
Office  blanks,  for  the  use  of  the  Department  for  the  next 
four  years,  since  my  last  report  a  bid  has  been  accepted  and 
a  contract  sent  out  for  execution,  on  terms  favorable  to  the 
Department. 

The  whole  number  of  requisitions  from  Postmasters,  for 
supply  of  Post-Office  blanks,  wrapping  paper,  and  twine, 
since  the  1st  of  June,  1861,  is  8,140 

The  number  of  requisitions  supplied  in  full,  6,769 

Number  of  requisitions  to  be  supplied,  1,212 

Which  will  appear  in  detail,  by  reference  to  tabular  state- 
ment marked  G,  herewith  submitted. 

This  Bureau  has  been  prevented  from  promptly  and  fully 
supplying  all  the  demands  for  blanks,  &c.,  for  Post-Offices, 
by  the  difficulty  which  has  been  encountered  in  obtaining 
paper  and  having   the  printing  done.     But,  it  is  thought^ 


this  difficnltj  T\'ill  soon  be  overcome,  and  the  supply  be  made 
equal  to  the  demand.

Since  then  9,^89,400  five  cent  stamps  have 

been  received,  equal  to $  4G4,470  00 

And  902,100  ten  cent  stamps 90,210  00 

Making   in  all  10,191,500 $554,680  00 

These  stamps  have  been  distributed  to  such  post  offices  as 
were  in  the  vicinity  of  military  encampments,  to  the  large 
cities,  ,and  to  such  of  the  principal  and  smaller  towns  as  the 
number  furnished  by  the  printer  has  enabled  the  Department 
to  supply.  The  Department,  however,  has  just  received 
from  Europe,  under  the  order  referred  to  in  my  last  report, 
two  millions  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  (2,150,000) 
five  cent  stamps,  equal  to  one  hundred  and  seven  thousand 
five  hundred  dollars,  ($107,500  00,)  which,  added  to  the 
number  above  stated,  makes  the  total  number  of  stamps  re- 
ceived twelve  million  three  hundred  and  forty-one  thousand 
five  hundred,  (12,341,500,)  amounting  to  six  hundred  and 
sixty-two  thousand  one  hundred  and  eiglity  dollars,  ($  QQZf- 
180  00.)  This  number,  together  with  those  being  furnished 
by  the  printer  in  this  city,  will  enable  the  Department,  in  a 
very  short  time,  to  furnish  every  office  with  a  full  supply. 

Two  cent  stamps  have  been  much  needed,  and  it  is  believed 
the  Department  will  be  able  to  supply'-  them  soon. 

RECEIPTS    AND    EXPENDITURES. 

As  shown  by  my  last  report,  the  total  expenditures  of  the 
Department  for  the  fractional  part  of  the  quarter  which 
ended  on  the  30th  June  last,  were  two  hundred  thousand 
nine  hundred  and  thirty-seven  dollars  and  ninety-seven 
cents,  (200,937  97,)  and  the  total  receipts,  ninety-two  thou- 
sand three  hundred  and  eighty-seven  dollars  and  sixty-seven 
cents,  ($  92,387  67,)  leaving  an  excess  of  expenditures  over 


11 

receipts  of  one  hundred  and  eight  thousand  five  hundred 
and  fifty  three  dollars  and  thirty  cents,  ($  108,553  30.) 

By  the  report  of  the  Auditor  of  the  Treasury  for  the 
Post  Ofiice  Department  for  the  quarter  ending  30th  Septem- 
ber, 1861,  a  copy  of  which  is  hereto  annexed,  marked  11, 
it  is  shown  that  the  total  expenditures  of  the  Department 
for  that  quarter  amounted  to  six  hundred  and  sixty-nine 
thousand  six  hundred  and  twelve  dollars  and  eighty-four 
cents,  ($  669,612  84,)  and  the  receipts  to  four  hundred  and 
fourteen  thousand  one  hundred  and  fifty-five  dollars  and 
seventy-four  cents,  (414,155  74,)  leaving  an  excess  of  ex- 
penditure over  receipts  of  two  hundred  and  fifty-five  thou- 
sand four  hundred  and  fifty-seven  dollars  and  ten  cents, 
($255,457  10.)  This  shows  an  aggregate  of  expenditures, 
during  the  first  four  months  of  the  operation  of  this  Depart- 
ment, of  eight  hundred  and  seventy  thousand  five  hundred 
and  fifty  dollars  and  eighty-one  cents,  ($870,550  81,)  and  an 
aggregate  of  receipts,  for  the  same  period,  of  five  hundred 
and  six  thousand  five  hundred  and  forty-three  dollars  and 
forty-one  cents,  ($  506,543  41,)  leaving  an  excess  of  expen- 
diture over  receipts  of  three  hundred  and  sixty-four  thou- 
sand and  seven  dollars  and  forty  cents,  ($364,i)07  40.) 

The  total  receipts  of  revenue  from  postages  for  these 
States,  under  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  for  the 
fiscal  year  which  ended  June  30tli,  1860,  were  one  million 
five  hundred  and  seventeen  thousand  five  hundred  and  forty 
dollars  and  fifty-five  cents,  ($  1,517,540  55.)  One  fourth 
of  the  above  sum,  equal  to  one  quarter  of  the  yearly  re- 
ceipts, is  three  hundred  and  seventy-nine  thousand  three 
hundred  and  eighty-five  dollars  and  thirteen  cents,  ($379,- 
385  13,)  being  thirty-four  thousand  seven  hundred  and 
seventy  dollars  and  sixty-one  cents,  ($34,770  61.)  less  than 
the  amount  of  the  receipts  for  the  quarter  which  ended  on 
the  30th  September  last. 

The  report  of  the  Auditor,  for  the  quarter  ending  31st 
December  last,  cannot,  in  the  order  of  business,  be  made 
before  April  next ;  so  that  I  am  unable  at  this  time  to  pre- 
sent a  statement  of  the  receipts  and  expenditures  for  that 
quarter.  It  is  fair  to  presume,  however,  that  the  receipts  of 
that  quarter  will  considerably  exceed  the  amount  of  the  re- 
ceipts for  the  quarter  which  ended  the  30th  of  September, 
on  account  of  the  fact  that  postage  stamps  were  distributed 
for  use  to  a  considerable  extent  during  the  greater  part  of 
the  quarter,  thereby  facilitating  the  payment  of  postage, 


12 

which  liacl  been  rendered  difficult  during  the  preceding  quar- 
ter from  the  scarcity  of  specie. 

The  Department  experienced  some  delay  and  difficulty  in 
the  collection  of  its  revenues,  during  the  first  months  of  its 
active  existence,  by  not  having  a  large  number  of  the  post- 
masters appointed  and  bonded  and  under  its  efficient  control, 
as  well  as  on  account  of  the  fact  that  but  few  of  the  mail 
carriers  had  entered  into  contract  with  this  Government,  and 
therefore  could  not  be  furnished  with  collection  orders,  so  as 
to  act  as  the  agents  of  the  Government  in  collecting  balances 
due  it  in  the  hands  of  postmasters  on  their  respective  routes. 
These  difficulties  are  being  removed  by  perfecting  the  organi- 
zation of  tlie  Department  and  b}^  the  increasing  efficiency  of 
the  organization  of  the  Auditor's  Office.  The  Department, 
therefore,  confidently  relies  on  realizing  the  grea.ter  portion 
of  its  accruing  revenues  to  meet  its  current  liabilities. 

Assuming  that  the  receipts  for  the  quarter  v/hich  ended 
the  3()th  September,  will  not  exceed  the  average  receipts  per 
quarter  for  the  year,  which  I  think  may  be  safely  relied  on, 
the  receipts  for  the  current  year  will  be  one  million  six  hun- 
dred and  fifty-six  thousand  six  hundred  and  twenty-two  dol- 
lars and  ninety-six  cents,  ($1,655,622  96.) 

The  total  receipts  in  the  year  1860,  were  one  million  five 
hundred  and  seventeen  thousand  five  hundred  and  forty  dol- 
lars and  fifty-five  cents,  ($1,517,  40  56.)  The  estimated 
increase  of  the  receipts  of  the  present  over  those  of  the 
preceding  year,  is  one  hundred  and  thirty  nine  thousand  and 
eighty-two  dollars  and  forty-one  cents,  ($  1 39,082  4 1 .)  The 
amount  of  the  fines  and  deductions  imposed  on  contractors 
for  failures  and  irregularities  in  the  service  are  also  to  be 
placed  to  the  credit  of  the  Department.  The  fines  imposed 
on  contractors,  up  to  the  31st  of  December  last,  were  seven 
hundred  and  sixty-four  dollars  and  six  cents,  ($764  06.) 
The  amount  of  deductions  to  same  date,  was  thirty-one 
thousand  two  hundred  and  eighty-three  dollars  and  thirteen 
cents,  ($31,283  .3.)  Making  in  all,  thirty-two  thousand 
and  forty-seven  dollars  and  nineteen  cents,   ($32,047   19.) 

I  assume  the  expenditures  of  the  year  ending  June  30th, 
1860,  under  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  as  the 
safest  basis  for  an  estimate  of  the  expenditures  and  liabilities 
of  the  Department  for  the  year  ending  June  30th,  next,  as 
our  present  expenditures  are  being  made  under  contracts 
then  in  existence,  except  as  they  have  been  modified  by  this 
Department,  by  omissions  of  contractors  to  perform  service, 


13 

or   by   tlie    occupation    of   parts    of   our   territory  by   the 
public  enemy. 

The  total  expenditures  of  that  jcarwere    $4,29d,24G   78 
Subject  to  the  following  deductions : 

Cost  of  service  on  routes 
discontinued  by  the   blockade  $  340,250  00 

Amount  saved  by  curtail- 
ment and  discontinuance  of  ser- 
vice on  routes,  by  order  of  the 
Department  391,502  62 

By  curtailment  of  cost  of 
railroad  service  136,373  08 

By  amount  of  fines  and  de- 
ductions to  31st  December  32,047    19 

'     §000,172  89 


Total  of  estimated  liability,  $3,396,073  89 

Amount  of  estimated  receipts 
for  cuirent  year,  based  on  ac- 
tual receipts  of  quarter  ending 
September  30th  $1,656,622  96 

Amount  of  appropriation  al- 
ready made  from  general  Trea- 
sury 820,060  36 

$2,476,683  32 


Leaving  a  balance  unprovi- 
ded for,  of  919,390  57 
Which  will   have  to  bo  provided  for  by   Congress  from  the 
general  Treasury. 

In  making  the  foregoing  estimate  of  receipts  and  ex- 
penditures, I  have  not  included  the  month  of  June  last, 
which  was  the  closing  month  of  the  last  fiscal  year,  as 
we  now  reckon  the  fiscal  year.  The  excess  of  expendi- 
ture Over  receipts  for  that  month,  w\as  one  hundred  and 
eight  thousand  five  hundred  and  fifty-three  dollars  r.nd 
thirty  cents,  ($  in8.553  30,)  which  would  be  so  much  to 
be  added  to  the  above  sum  to  be  provided  for  fiora  the 
general  Treasury.  But  as  the  Department  has  not  been 
charged  with  the  expense  of  the  service  in  a  considerable 
portion  of  Western  Virginia,  nor  in  Tennessee,  until  after 
the  8th  day  of  June  last,  nor  on  a  number  of  routes  else- 
where, on  which  the  service  has  been  abandoned,  it  will  be 


14 

safe  to  omit  the  expenses  of  tl\at  month  in  the  amount  to  be 
appropriated  from  the  general  Treasury. 

From  this  it  ^vill  be  seen  that  the  estimated  excess  of  ex- 
penditure over  receipts  for  thirteen  months,  ending  the  3'dth 
June  next,  is  one  million  seven  hundred  and  thirty-nine 
thousand  four  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  and  ninetv-five 
cents,  ($  1,739,-:15'J  95,)  -while  the  deficiency  in  the  same 
States,  under  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  for  a 
like  period,  ending  June  3()th,  1860,  was  three  million  and 
ten  thousand  two  hundred  and  sixty-five  dollars  and  ten 
cents,  ($3,010,265  10,)  being  an  excess  of  deficiency  of 
one  million  two  hundred  and  seventy  thousand  eight  hun- 
dred and  fourteen  dollars  and  seventeen  cents,  ($  1,27;>,814 
17  cents,)  more  than  the  estimated  deficiency  under  the 
Confederate  States. 

TELEGRAPH    LINES. 

Under  the  several  acts  relating  to  the  construction  and 
control  of  telegraph  lines,  the  sum  of  seven  thousand  one 
hundred  and  twenty-one  dollars  and  eighty  cents  (7,121  8')) 
has  been  expended  between  the  date  of  my  last  report  and 
the  3  1st  December  last,  as  v/ill  appear  by  reference  to  the 
Auditor's  report,  herewith  accompanying. 

A  supplemental  contract  has  been  made  with  the  Texas 
Telegraph  Company,  since  tlie  date  of  my  last  report,  ex- 
tending the  tnne  for  the  completion  of  the  line  of  telegraph 
from  the  City  of  New  Orleans  to  the  City  of  Houston,  to 
the  fifteenth  day  of  May  next.  And  on  the  2  7th  of  Febru- 
ary, inst.,  the  Department  issued  an  order  to  William  S. 
Moi-ris,  President  of  the  Southern  Telegraph  Compan}^  to 
build  and  put  in  operation  a  line  of  telegraph  from  Weidon, 
in  the  State  of  iNorth  Carolina,  to  Suft'olk,  in  the  State  of 
Virginia,  which,  it  is  expected,  will  be  completed  in  twenty 
days  from  the  date  cf  the  above  order.  A  line  has  also  been 
built  from  Dumfries  to  Evansport ;  another  from  Manassas 
to  Centreville,  and  an  additional  line  from  Stafford  Court 
House  to  Brooks'  Station,  in  Virginia. 

For  a  full  account  of  the  action  of  the  Department  on 
this  subject,  reference  is  respectfully  Aade  to  my  last  report. 

EXPRESS    COMPANIES    AS    MAIL    CARRIERS. 

Under  the  seventh  section  of  *^An  Act  to  prescribe  the 
rates  of  postage  in  the  Confederate   States  of  America,  and 


15 

for  other  purposes,"  approved  February  23,  1861,  express 
and  other  chartered  companies  are  prohibited  from  carrying 
any  letters  ''  unless  the  same  shall  be  prepaid,  by  being  en- 
closed in  a  stamped  envelope  of  this  Confederacy,"  and  a 
penalty  of  five  hundred  dollars  is  denounced  against  any 
such  company  for  violating  the  statute. 

By  the  fifth  section  of  "An  Act  vesting  certain  powers  in 
the  Postmaster  General,"  approved  ^larch  \5^  1861,  it  is 
provided  "  that  it  shall  be  lawful  for  the  Postmaster  Gene- 
ral to  allow  express  and  other  chartered  companies  to  carry 
letters,  and  all  mail  matter  of  every  description,  whether 
the  same  be  enclosed  in  stamped  envelopes  or  prepaid  by 
stamps,  or  in  money ;  but  if  the  same  be  prepaid  in  money, 
the  mone}'  sliall  be  paid  to  some  Postmaster,  who  shall  stamp 
the  same  paid,  and  shall  account  to  the  Post-Office  Depart- 
ment for  the  same,  in  the  same  manner  as  for  letters  sent  by 
the  mail :  and  if  prepaid  by  stamps,  then  the  express  or 
other  company  receiving  such  letters  for  delivery,  shall  ob- 
literate such  stamps,  under  the  penalty  of  five  hundred  dol- 
lars for  each  failure ;  ****** 
but  if  said  lotters  or  mail  matter  shall  be  received  by  such 
express  or  other  company,  not  for  delivery,  bat  to  be  mailed, 
then  the  matter  so  carried  shall  be  prepaid  at  the  same  rate 
that  the  existing  law  requires  it  to  be  paid,  from  the  point 
where  it  may  be  received  by  such  company  to  the  point  of 
its  destination  ;  and  the  Postmaster,  where  such  company 
may  mail  the  same,  shall  deface  the  stamps  upon  the  same." 

By  the  sixth  section  of  the  foregoing  act,  each  agent  of 
any  company  which  may  carry  letters  under  its  provisions, 
is  required  "  to  take  an  oath  that  he  will  faithfully  comply 
with  the  law  of  the  Confederate  States  relating  to  the  carry- 
ing of  letters  or  other  mail  matter,  and  obliterating  postage 
stamps." 

These  three  sections  embrace  all  of  our  legislation  on  this 
subject. 

By  the  ninth  secticn  of  "An  Act  to  reduce  the  rates  of 
postage,  to  limit  the  use,  and  correct  the  abuse,  of  the 
^  franking  privilege,  and  for  the  prevention  of  frauds  on  the 
revenues  of  the  Post-Office  Department,"  approved  March 
3,  1845,  private  express  companies  are  expressly  prohibited 
from  carrying  "any  letters,  packets  or  packages  of  letters, 
or  other  matter  properly  transmissible  by  the  United  States 
mail,  except  newspapers,  pamphlets,  magazines  and  periodi- 


16 

cals;"  and  a  penalty  of  one  huuilred  and  fifty  dollars  is 
denounced  against  any  violation  of  the  law. 

It  has  come  to  the  knowledge  of  the  Department  that  nu- 
merous frauds  have  heen  perpetrated  against  its  revenues  by 
what  is  known  as  the  Southern  Express  Company;  and  pro- 
secutions have  been  ordered  against  it  in  a  number  of  cases. 
But  from  supposed  defects  in  our  legislation  on  the  subject, 
it  is  regarded  as  doubtful,  by  some  of  the  law  officers  in 
charge  of  these  cases,  Avhcther  the  prosecutions  can  be  sus- 
tained against  the  company,  and  especially  in  States  where 
.it  has  not  been  incorporated. 

It  w^ill  also  be  seen,  by  reference  to  the  fifth  section  of 
the  "Act  vesting  certain  powers  in  the  Postmasier  Gene- 
ral," that  the  only  penalty  provided  b}^  it  is  against  a  failure 
to  "obliterate  postage  stamp-"  on  letters  prepaid  by 
stamps.  And  no  penalty  has  been  provided  against  any 
person  connected  with,  or  employed  by,  an  express  company. 

The  Southern  Express  Company  is  the  only  company  car- 
rying mailable  matter,  so  far  as  is  known  to  the  Depart- 
ment, and  the  number  of  frauds  being  perpetrated  by  its 
agents  upon  the  revenues  of  the  Department  Avill  render  it 
necessary  for  me  to  refuse  to  allow  it  to  carry  mailable  mat- 
ter, except  such  as  is  provided  for  in  the  seventh  section  of 
the  Act  of  February  23d,  1861,  above  referred  to,  until 
some  scheme  can  be  devised  for  the  better  security  of  the 
revenues  of  the  Department,  if  Congress  shall  tliink  it  ne- 
cessary to  attempt  to  provide  such  a  scheme. 

POSTAGE  OF  AGENTS  AND  CONTRACTORS  OF  THE  POST  OFFICE 
DEPARTMENT. 

I  must  call  attention  to  tiie  recommendation  made  in  my 
last  report,  that  Congress  provide  some  means  of  relieving 
special,  and  route,  and  local  agents,  and  contractors,  from 
the  payment  of  the  postage  on  their  official  correspondence. 
The  agents  are  required  to  correspond  with  the  Department 
and  with  postmasters  and  others  on  the  business  of  the  De- 
partment. The  correspondence  of  the  special  agents  is 
voluminous;  and  contractors  for  carrying  the  mails  are  re- 
quired to  make  frequent  responses  to  communications  sent 
them  from  the  Department  in  relation  to  the  service,  and  to 
return  to  the  Auditor,  quarterly,  the  evidence  of  payments 
made  them  for  such  service,  and  to  report  to  the  Depart- 
ment the  cause  of  every  failure  and  of  all  irregularities  in 


n 

the  service  on  their  several  routes.  My  recommendations 
on  this  subject  were  not  acted  on,  and  I  beg  respectfully  to 
renew  them,  and  to  call  attention  to  the  reasons  stated  in  my 
last  report  for  requesting  this  action ;  and  also  to  renew  the 
suggestions  contained  in  that  report,  as  to  the  modes  of 
remedying  this  defect  of  legislation. 

COMPENSATION  TO  CONTRACTORS  FOR  PAST  SERVICES. 

The  condition  of  those  contractors  for  carrying  the  mails 
under  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  who  continued 
to  carry  them  in  the  several  States  of  this  Confederacy  after 
they  seceded  from  the  Government  of  the  United  States, 
and  before  this  Government  took  charge  of  the  postal  ser- 
vice, on  the  first  of  June  last,  lequires  consideration  by 
Congress.  But  few  of  the  contractors  in  all  these  States 
received  any  payments  from  the  United  States  for  their  ser- 
vices after  the  secession  of  their  respective  States.  This 
Government  has  made  no  provision  for  their  payment,  ex- 
cept to  direct  the  collection  of  bahinces  in  tlie  hands  of  post- 
masters on  the  first  of  June  last,  due  to  the  United  States, 
and  hold  the  sum  so  collected  for  pro  rata  payment  to  these 
contractors,  after  ascertaining  the  amounts  due  them  for 
such  service.  The  Auditor  is  unable,  as  yet,  to  report  tO' 
me  the  amount  of  the  outstanding  balances  in  the  hands  of 
postmasters,  or  the  amount  of  indebtedness  to  contractors  ; 
and  I  am  unable  to  come  to  a  correct  conclusion  as  to  what 
success  may  attend  his  efforts  to  collect  these  balances.  Bat, 
at  the  best  wliich  can  be  expected,  the  amount  to  be  collected 
from  postmasters  will  pay  but  a  small  part  of  the  amount' 
due  to  this  class  of  contractors. 

These  contractors  are  entitled  to  gre  t  credit  for  having 
continued  to  perform  this  service,  without  any  certain 
assurance  as  to  when  and  how  they  were  to  be  paid.  If 
they  had  determined  to  abandon  the  service  on  the  secession' 
of  their  several  States,  (and  there  was  no  power  to  compel 
them  to  continue  it,)  the  result  to  our  country  and  cause 
must  have  been  deplorable,  while  the  difficulty  of  putting 
the  service  in  operation  under  our  new  Government  would 
have  been  greatly  augmented.  And  though  the  Government 
of  the  United  States  received  a  part  of  the  revenues  arising 
from  postages  in  these  States  after  it  had  ceased  to  make 
payments  to  contractors,  and  only  gave  them  notice  of  the 
discontinuance  of  their  contracts  under  that  Government, 
2 


18 

from  and  after  the  31st  of  May  last,  this  does  not  weaken 
their  claim  on  us  for  compensation,  as  their  services  were 
chiefly  beneficial  to  our  people.  It  is  to  be  remembered, 
too,  that  they  continued,  in  most  instances,  to  perform  this 
service  under  this  Government  for  a  considerable  length  of 
time  after  it  assumed  the  control  of  the  service,  before  the 
Department  could  command  the  information  necessary  to 
enable  it  to  make  payments  to  them  for  the  current  service. 
The  whole  subject  is  respectfully  submitted  for  the  consid- 
eration of  Congress. 

REDUCTION  OF  THE    RATES    OF    COMMISSIONS    ALLOWED    TO  POST- 
MASTERS. 

I  would  respectfully  call  the  attention  of  Congress  to  the 
necessity  of  a  revision  of  the  *'Act  regulating  the  pay  of 
Deputy  Postmasters,"  approved  June  22,  1854.  Under  that 
act  they  are  allowed,  as  a  compensation  for  their  services, 
commissions  *'on  the  postage  collected  at  their  respective 
offices  in  each  quarter  of  the  year,  and  in  due  proportion  for 
any  period  less  than  a  quarter,  viz : 

"On  any  sum  not  exceeding  one  hundred  dollars,  sixty 
■per  cent. ;  but  any  Postmaster  at  whose  office  the  mail  is  to 
arrive  regularlj^  between  the  hours  of  nine  o'clock  at  night 
and  five  o"clock  in  the  morning,  may  be  allowed  seventy  per 
cent,  on  the  first  hundred  dollars. 

*'0n  any  sum  over  and  above  one  hundred  dollars,  and  not 
•exceeding  four  hundred  dollars,  fifty  per  cent. 

<'0n  any  sum  over  and  above  four  hundred  dollars,  but 
not  exccding  twenty-four  hundred  dollars,  forty  per  cent. 

"And  on  all  sums  over  twenty-four  hundred  dollars,  fif- 
teen per  cent. 

"On  the  amount  of  postage  on  letters  and  packages  re- 
ceived at  a  distributing  office  for  distribution,  twelve- and- 
one-half  per  cent,  commissions  may  be  allowed." 

The  rate  of  postage  on  which  the  foregoing  rates  of  com- 
missions Avere  allowed,  was,  for  any  distance  embraced  within 
the  limits  of  the  Confederate  States,  three  cents;  whereas 
the  same  rates  of  commission  are  now  allowed  on  the  follow- 
ing rates  of  postage,  viz  : 

For  every  single  sealed  letter  conveyed,  not  exceeding 
five  hundred  miles,  five  cents ;  and  for  any  distance  exceed- 
ing five  hundred  miles,  ten  cents. 

Under  the  former  low  rate  of  postage,  a  Postmaster  would 


mail  three  thousand  three  hundred  and  thirty-three  letters 
for  seventy  dollars  of  compensation,  whereas  he  now  re- 
ceives that  sum  for  mailing  two  thousand  at  the  five  cent 
rate,  or  one  thousand  at  the  ten  cent  rate  of  postage.  If, 
therefore,  the  former  rates  of  commission  were  an  adequate 
compensation  for  the  labor  performed  by  Postmasters,  it  is 
manifest  that  their  compensation,  under  the  present  rates  of 
postage,  is  disproportionate  to  the  service  performed,  and 
could  with  propriety  be  reduced. 

I  therefore  suggest,  for  the  consideration  of  Congress,  the 
following  rates  of  commissions  in  lieu  of  those  now  allowed: 

On  any  sum  not  exceeding  one  hundred  dollars,  fifty  per 
cent. ;  but  to  any  Postmaster,  at  whose  office  the  mail  is  to 
arrive  regularly,  between  the  hours  of  nine  o'clock  at  night 
and  five  o'clock  in  the  morning,  sixty  per  cent. 

On  any  sum  over  one  hundred  dollars,  and  not  exceeding 
four  hundred  dollars,  forty  per  cent. 

On  any  sum  over  four  hundred  dollars,  but  not  exceeding 
twenty-four  hundred  dollars,  thirty  per  cent. 

And  on  all  sums  over  twenty-four  hundred  dollars,  ten 
per  cent. 

On  the  amount  of  postage  on  letters  and  packages  re- 
ceived at  a  distributing  office,  for  distribution,  eight  per 
cent. 

These  rates  of  commissions  on  our  rates  of  postage,  will 
give  a  more  ample  compensation  to  Postmasters  for  their 
labor  than  they  would  receive  by  the  present  rates  of  com- 
missions upon  the  former  low  rate  of  postage.  And  while 
these  rates  of  commissions  would  afford  a  just  compensation 
to  Postmasters,  they  would  save  to  the  Department  a  con- 
siderable amount  of  the  current  revenues,  and,  to  that  ex- 
tent, aid  in  rendering  it  self-sustaining. 
I  have  the  honor  to  be. 

Very  respectfully. 

Your  obedient  servant, 

JOHN  H.  REAGAN, 

Postmaster  General, 

The  President.

CONFEDERATE  STATES  OF  AMERICA, 
General  PosTOFFrcE  Department, 

Auditor's  Office, 
Richmond,  Ya.,  Jan.  22d,  1862. 
Hon.  John  H.  R,rAGAN.  Postmaster  Genrral : 

Sir:  I  have  the  honor  to  report  the  receipts  and  expendi- 
tures of  the  Postoffice  Department  for  the  3rd  quarter,  end- 
ending  the  3d  SejHember,  A.  D.,  18G1. 

Bj  reference  to  the  annexed  Tabuhir  Statement  marked 
A.  it  will  be  seen  that  the  receipts  of  Postoffice  Department 
for   the  3rd  quarter,   ending   3l)th    September,    1861,   from 

postages  and  emoluments  were -114.155  74 

Expenditure  for  same  period 669,612  84 


255,457   10 

By  reference  to  the  report  from  this  Bureau,  dated  22d 
November,  1861,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  excess  of  expendi- 
tures over  postal  receipts  for  the  fractional  quarter,  ending 
31'thJune,  1861,  was  as  per  Tabular  Statement.  .  108,553  30 
Add  excess  of  expenditures  as  above 255,457   10 


Total  deficiency  4  months $364,010  40 

If  the  same  relative  proportion  should  continue  between 
the  receipts  and  expenditures  up  to  30th  June,  1862  (the 
end  of  the  fiscal  year.)  the  deficiency  will  then  amount  to 
gl, 092,1 21  20  which  will  not  be  covered  by  the  amount  ap- 
propriated by  Congress  to  supply  deficiencies  in  the  postal 
revenue. 

By  a  comparison  of  this  estimated  deficiency,  however, 
with  the  deficiency  in  the  postal  revenue  under  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States,  there  is  obvious  cause  of  con- 
gratulation in  the  success  which  has  resulted  to  the  Depart- 
ment in  reducing  to  such  an  extent  the  expenditures  of  the 
postal  system. 

The  deficiencies  in  the  postal  revenue  of  the  United  States 
for  the  fiscal  year,  ending  30th  June,  1860,  according  to  the 


55 


(H  Continued.) 

Report  of   the   Postmaster   General  of    the   United  States 
was $6,356,705  40 

The  proportion  of  this  deficiency  borne  by  the  eleven  States 
now  ■within  the  limits  of  the  Confederacy  was.  .$2,1 ! 8,901  83 
Deduct  deficiency  above  stated \ 1,092,121   20 

Difi'erence  saved* 1,026,780  63 

From  the  forcgoin^ij  comparative  calculation  it  appears 
that  notwithstanding  the  difficulties  and  embarrassments  by 
which  the  Department  has  been  surrounded,  there  has  been 
saved  to  the  Treasury  over  One  Million  of  Dollars. 

There  has   been   expended  under  the  Acts  of  21st  May, 

1861,  apppropriating $30,000  00 

For  telegraphic  purposes 22,297  28 

Leaving  unexpended  at  this  date 7,762  72 

in  order  to  avoid  the  confusion  in  which  these  telegraph- 
ic accounts  are  frequently  involved,  I  respectfully  suggest 
that  some  sworn  officer  should  be  authorized  to  superintend 
the  expenditures  under  the  Act  above  mentioned,  and  whose 
approval  should  accompany  each  account.  Some  of  these 
accounts  have  been  approved  by  Mr.  Dowell,  others  by  Dr. 
Morris,  and  recently  some  accounts  have  been  sent  up  from 
General  Magruder's  Division,  which  are  approved  by  parties 
whose  signatures  are  unknown  to  this  office,  and  are  sus- 
pended for  further  evidence. 

Under  the  Act  of  Congress  of  August  30th,  1861.  requir- 
ing all  Postmasters  to  account  for  monies  remaining  in  hand 
and  not  passed  over  to  the  United  States  before  the  Confed- 
erate States  assumed  control  of  the  postal  service,  there  hare 
been  received  returns  from  4,232  Postmasters  who  acknow- 
ledge balance  due  amounting  to 69,704  26 

which  will  be  collected  in  such  manner  as  you  may  direct. 
I  have  the  honor  to  be, 

Very  respectfully, 

Your  obedient  servant, 

BOLLING  BAKEil, 

Auditor.
